Doomscroll Evening Cutoff Habit
A doomscroll evening cutoff habit stops news and social feeds ninety minutes before bed so threat scrolling does not spike cortisol when melatonin should rise.
A doomscroll evening cutoff habit sets a hard stop for news and social feeds—often ninety minutes before bed—so threat content does not spike cortisol when melatonin should rise. Move chargers out of the bedroom, use app limits, and swap the last scroll block for audio or paper.
Breaking the cutoff once teaches your brain the rule is negotiable; treat misses as data, not moral failure. Pair with dim room lighting at the same clock time.
Common questions
-
What if I need my phone for alarms?
Use a basic alarm clock or watch. Keeping the phone bedside almost always revives one more scroll check that breaks the cutoff.
